I am going to be making topiaries with home dried roses. If you are interested, here is what you need to do.
1. Let me know that you are interested.
2. Start carrying for those rose bushes. Speak to them , Fertilize them (the olden days they called that 'dunging' them.) Watch for the little buds.
3. Dry the buds before they open too far. (Stems as long as possible please) Use the air drying method. Here is a site that explains it , but really..it's just hanging them upside down in suitable conditions. http://www.save-on-crafts.com/dryingroses.html
4. Be on the look out for great sticks to use as topiary stems. You know best the look you will love.
5. Watch here for further instructions.
I may make the bases and willoffer to help others make theirs, If you prefer, find the ultimmate container for you!
